OUR HISTORY The Young people of the Western District Conference had their first organized retreat in 1925 on the Bethel College campus. In April, 1948, the Western District Conference Youth Fellowship purchased the property located near Murdock, Kansas. The first retreat at Camp Mennoscah was held in 1949 when a small group of young people pitched their tents on the west side of the river near the old farmstead.
